Done.
But i have this output:

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id:      0
;; flags: ; ZONE: 0, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; UPDATE SECTION:
HostName.DomainName.com.  0       ANY     A
HostName.DomainName.com.  86400   IN      A       192.168.1.1

update failed: REFUSED

I'm thinking that there could be some problems in the DNS server...
